The Crooked House must be one of the most unusual and unique pubs in the world!
It lies on the edge of the Himley Estate. It is a house that has suffered badly from mining subsidence. It lies on what was the divide between Sir Stephen Glynne’s land and that of the Earl of Dudley.
Some years ago, the pub was shifting and sinking but buttressing prevented further damage but left it tilted some 15 degrees out of true. Doors, floors and windows all sit at odd angles to one another, causing patrons difficulty upon entering the pub and walking to the bar.
The sloping floor creates an eerie illusory sensation, making drinkers feel drunk after only a pint or two.
